TOILET-BOX.

Application filed February 4. 1919.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, AnnAHAM GARBEIL,

a citizen of the United States. residingat Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Toilet-BoXes, of which the following is a specification.

One object oi. my invention is to provide a neat and compact toilet box of the type generally known as vanity boxes and to so construct my improved box that it will. conveniently hold, in diifercnt compartments, compressed portions of white or light colored powder and rouge, so that a lady, by a slight movement of certain of the parts, can use either the powder or the rouge.

Another object is to provide my improved boX with reflecting means which is so arranged that a portion thereof may be readily seen when either the powder or the rouge is in position to be used.

A further object is to so construct my improved box that it may be used to hold other toilet articles such as an eyebrow pencil, lip stick and vials of perfume.

A still further object is to so construct" my improved box that it can be readily opened and can be easily carried and manip ulated.

' These objects, and other advantageous ends which will be described hereinafter, I

attain in the following manner reference being bad to the accompanying drawings in Which Figure 1 is a perspective viewof a box made in accordance with my present invention and showing the same opened in a position to permit the use of the white or light colored powder.

Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the box shown in Fig. 1, the box having been in verted and opened to permit the use of the rouge.

Fig. 3 is a sectional elevation of the box shown in Figs. 1 and 2 in its closed position.

Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a partition which forms a part of my improved box.

Fig. 5 is a central sectional elevation showing a modified form of my invention.

Specification of Letters ratent.

Patented Get. "8', 1919..

Serial No. 274,918.

Fig. 6 is a perspective view showing still another form of my invention.

Fig. 7 is a longitudinal sectional elevation of the box shown in Fig. 6 with the sections arranged endv to end so that either section can be opened, and

Fig; 8 is an outside elevation of the form of box shown in Figs. 6 and 7; the sections being folded one upon the other.

Referring to the form of my invention shown'in Figs. 1 to -l, inclusive, 10 represents the bod y portion of my improved box which is open at its top and bottom and is provided between the 'top and the bottom with a partition 1-1. This partition is preferably provided with flanges 12 which may be glued or otherwise secured to the inner surfaces of the body portion 10 so as to form a. partition which divides the body portion into two compartments 18 and 14. The corners of the partition 11 are cut away to provide recesses 15. These recesses, when the partition 11 is secured in position within the body portion 10, form holes through which various toilet articles such, for em ample, as vials 16 and 17, lip stick 18 and eyebrow pencil 19 can be inserted. The vials l6 and 17 can be used to contain perfume or other material.

(lakes 20 and 21 of powder and rouge are positioned within the compartments 13 and 14-, respectively, and are supported either by glue or other suitable means upon the par tition 11. Putts 22 and 23 are also con tained within the compartments 13 and let and can be used to apply the powder and reuse to the face.

The compartment 13 can be closed by a cover 21 which is hinged at 25 to the body portion 10 and has a flap 26 provided with a snap-button 27, whereby the cover can be closed and secured to the front the body portion 10; said front also being provided with a portion of said snap-button. The compartment 14 can be closed by a cover 28 which is hinged at 29 to the bottom of the body portion 10. The cover 28 is also provided with a flap 30 having one portion of a snap-button 31 thereon; the other portion of said snap-button being attached to the front of the body portion adjacent the bottom.

- 'permit the vials 16 and 17, li

- eyeb ow pencil 19 to be easi y grasped by can be removed and the mirror Thus, by the covers 24 and 28, the compartments 13 and 14 can be closed and will thus retain the removable parts within the box. The cover 2 has a mirror 32 on its inner surface and the cover 28 has a mirror 33 on its inner surface. The corners of the body portion 10 are cut away, as shown at 3&, to stick 18 and iglge ngers and removed, for use, from the 4, inclusive, if it is desired to secure access to the powder 20, the cover 24 is o ened into the position shown in 32 will be in proper position to ermit view thereof. Also, either of the vials 16 and 17' can be freely removed as can the lip stick 18 and eyebrow pencil 19. If it is desired to use the rouge21, the cover 2& can be closed and thecover 28" can be opened, for example in the 'osition shown in Fig. 2, merely by inverting the body portion 10., The II111 101 33 will then be inposition to be used and the puff 23 can be readily removed to apply the rouge.

. id-and These, sections 44' and 45.

. sections 55 and 56; on thezends of 57'and 58. The cover section 4 9 has a mirror59 On it In the form of my invention shown in Fig. 5, the parts are substantially the same as that shown in Figs. 1 to 4, inclusive, with the ex-- caption that instead of having the covers hinged at the top and bottom of the rear of the body portion, they are hinged at opposite ends of the body portion," For example, the covers 35 and 2(5 which correspond in function to the-covers 24 and 28 are, re-

form of the invention shown in Fi 5, the

4:1 and 42- of powder and rouge can be molded so that a neck 4'3 extends through the hole l0 and thereby links the two cakes il and 42' together, at opposite sides of the partition. n all other respects, the construction .of is similar to th'atdbscribed in Figs. 1 toe, inclusive, and I have, therefore, given simlilar parts corresponding reference numeras. I I

"In the form of my invention, shown in 6, 7 and. 8, I provide two box sections are hinged togather at 46'. A sin le cover ,47 is secured to the hinge 46, as shown at 48,,a'nd has secti'o'ns 49 and 50 for covering'the" box sections 4 I The sections 49 and 50' are, res'lpeetiveiy, provided with flap's'51 and 52.

h'e se flaps ave snap-button sections 53 and. -5j4:fwhich can be secured to other snap-button underside and the cover'seetion' fifl'has amirx. Inthe use of the box shown in Figs. 1 to Fig. 1. T e puff 22 within the scope of the appended claims.

spectively, hinged at 37 and 38. Also, in the- .tion' and bottom w ereby of saidbod'y portion,

section 45 has a cake of rouge 63 therein and a puff 64. .Thus either box-section can be opened for use 1n applying the powder or rou e.

While I have described my invention as taking a particular form, it will be understood that the various parts of my invention spirit thereof, and hence I do not limit myself to the precise construction set forth, but consider that I am at liberty ,to make such changes and alterations as fairly come Having thus described my invention, what I claim as newand desire to secure by Letters Patent is: v g
